"Four simple yet profound general principles govern how the world works. I’ll first state them all at once, telegraphically, and then spell them out in more depth.

1. The basic laws describe change. It is useful to separate the description of the world into two parts: states hand laws. States describe but there is, while law is described how things change.

2. The basic laws are universal. That is, the basic laws hold everywhere, and for all times.

3 The basic laws are local. That is, to behavior open object in the immediate future depends only on current conditions in its immediate vicinity. The standard scientific jargon for this principle is locality.

4. The basic laws are precise. The laws are precise, and they admit no exceptions. Thus, they can be formulated as mathematical equations."
